I notice that Firefox have changed their plans, to let people run Flash for longer. Until recently, their site said (and I regularly quoted) "In early 2020, Flash support will be completely removed from consumer versions of Firefox." Now, it says "In December 2020, Flash support will be completely removed from consumer versions of Firefox." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Plugins/Roadmap

Flash Player will be blocked in browsers. These debug plugins are not a magic solution to this, they will be blocked too. Good luck with finding an open source solution, but you can be sure all such plugins will also be blocked in major browsers.

Debug plug-ins have the same end-of life as non-debug plugins, for all browsers.

    Flash Player will not be available for download after December 2020.  All major browser vendors will remove Flash support at that time.

     

    When Adobe announced Flash Player's end-of-life 3 years ago, the recommendation has been to migrate to different technology.  That recommendation still stands.

    Is your question: "will these different (debug) plug-ins have a longer life (no EOL)" compared to regular verison. No, surely not, these are just developer tools, and made available for each release.

    That's not what I said. I imagine debug plug-ins have exactly the same EOL, if they are even supported in the first place (they aren't an alternative product!). So far as I know, Adobe won't stop you running any Flash plug-in after the EOL date, but since all major browsers will block them, they are very probably going to be useless to you.
